1st Antiphon & Small Litany

Bless the Lord,
 O my soul,
 and let all that is within
 me bless His holy name.
 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
 and forget not all His benefits.
 He forgives all your iniquities,
 He heals all your diseases.
 He redeems your life
 from corruption,
 He crowns you with mercy
 and compassion.
 Compassionate and merciful
 is the Lord,
 long-suffering and
 abounding in mercy.
 Bless the Lord,
 O my soul,
 and let all that is
 within me bless
 His holy name.
 Blessed are You, O Lord.
 Deacon: Again and again
 in peace
 let us pray to the Lord.
 Lord, have mercy.
 Deacon: Help and save, have
 mercy and protect us,
 O God, by Your grace.
 Lord, have mercy
 Deacon: Remembering our
 most holy and immaculate,
 most blessed and glorious Lady,
 the Mother of God
 and ever-virgin Mary,
 together with all the saints,
 let us commend ourselves and
 one another and our whole life to
 Christ our God.
 To You, O Lord.
 Priest: For Yours is the might,
 and Yours are the kingdom and
 the power and the glory, Father,
 Son, and Holy Spirit,
 now and for ever and ever.
 Amen.
